          Can't read the address and name in the pic and zooming in is too blurry. Also, can you translate what the error page says to English?

              Thanks for the clarifications. I don't have ipv6 support at all, so I can't test. But...

              Can you compare with other Chromium-based browsers like Chromium-based Edge, Vivaldi, Chrome and Brave to see what they do?

                Yeah. Same thing. Chromium edge can't open site by it's name, but open it by it's address

                  I will check on desktop later but I was able to access the page using Opera for Android, Opera Mini and Opera Touch.

                    Just tried with Opera 63 and Opera developer 65 and the page loaded fine.

                      @Chirick86 said in ipv6 site's name doesn't resolve to it's address:

                      @burnout426
                      Yeah. Same thing. Chromium edge can't open site by it's name, but open it by it's address

                      Sounds like something isn't set up right for Chromium-based browsers like Opera when it comes to DNS resolving to ipv6. Since it's working for leocg, I'm assuming there's something not set up right on your computer.

                      What OS are you using? What router are you using? Are you using any custom DNS servers (or maybe you need to try to)?
